The 3rd

On July 3rd Ryan didn't have to work so he decided to take the boys ice skating. Charlie had been throwing up all morning (we've been sick a lot lately, I guess) but was feeling better by the afternoon so off they went. It was Charlie's first time and he loved it. The other boys didn't like it so much when they were Charlie's age so Ryan thought he wouldn't last very long, but he cried for about half an hour after we finally left. (Charlie that is, not Ryan.)

Alex liked "making snow" with his skates when he stopped.

Ryan's back was pretty sore after a couple hours of this:

Charlie didn't even mind it when this happened:

And here are Alex running into someone and Benjamin showing off his new talent:
